Abstract

Of the issues that currently affect the Basque and Navarran ponies, their differentiation in three different Studbooks is the probably the most ill-conceived aspect. In this respect, currently, the Pottok-ANP has nothing to do with the Basque Pony - Pottoka, since its tendency toward a commercial pony prevails over the criterion of the Original Type.In the Basque Autonomous Community, this model has been used, transforming itself into a standard that does not absolutely reflect the real situation of the Hegoalde pony or the majority criterion of defending the Original Type.
